 editor of Spitfire&GT6 Magazine after this next issue. I will be co-editin=
g this coming issue and will take over sole editor duties of the magazine a=
fter the first of the year. I plan on adding a few things to the magazine t=
hat I would love to see as a reader. Namely RACING coverage. I will be free=
 lance writing for other magazines and websites as well (Triumph World, Mos=
s Motoring, North American Spitfire Squadron, among others)=0A=0AFeatured S=
pitfire and GT6 race cars, influential people of racing from back in the da=
y, vintage racers of the present, stories of the history of the cars, track=

s of Triumph comes in.=A0=0A=0AI would like to interview some of you and es=
tablish a section to feature a racer or two per issue. I have a few of you =
in mind and a few of your cars. I will want to hear stories of the old trac=
ks like VIR and Ghost Tracks like Greenwood. I saw a few of you at the 50th=
 anniversary (Greenwood Revival) and was not yet in a position to move forw=
ard on interviews and stories, but am now.=A0=0A=0AI am an historian. I am =
very interested in racing when it was real and am intrigued by vintage raci=
ng of the present. I have spent a lot of time with some interesting charact=
ers and feel fortunate to have done so. This will be very fun and may chang=
e the magazine a little, but I hope to keep most of the things that make th=
is magazine a good one and add some flare and enthusiasm. I hope to also es=
